Mulberries are rich in vitamins (A, B1–B6, B9, E, C, K), trace elements (manganese, iron, zinc, copper, selenium), and macroelements (calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus). They contain a particularly high amount of potassium, and a deficiency of this mineral in the body can lead to hypokalemia. For this reason, doctors sometimes recommend mulberry extracts in cases of potassium metabolism disorders.
Thanks to their antioxidant composition, mulberries help fight free radicals and protect the body from cancer. Being rich in vitamins, mulberries support the body’s normal functioning. Due to their potassium content, they help regulate blood pressure and effectively support heart health.
Mulberries are also recommended for people suffering from heart conditions (such as myocardial dystrophy or heart defects of varying severity) and chronic edema related to kidney disease. They have diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Regular consumption of mulberries may help reduce shortness of breath, alleviate heart pain, and normalize heart rhythm. Mulberries are also considered beneficial in cases of anemia and metabolic disorders.
In the form of an infusion, mulberries are used in traditional medicine to rinse the mouth in cases of stomatitis, periodontal disease, ulcers, and throat infections. Mouth rinsing should be done at least four times a day. For nervous disorders caused by overwork and accompanied by insomnia, a mulberry infusion is also recommended. The mixture should reach a thick, viscous consistency.
White mulberries contain organic acids and are rich in vitamin C, carotene, pectin, and dietary fiber. These active components help relieve cough, reduce fever, treat diarrhea, ease headaches, and support the body during inflammatory processes.
Mulberries are also rich in antioxidants, and their regular consumption helps lower cholesterol levels and may support cardiovascular health. In traditional medicine, mulberries are used in cases of type 2 diabetes, as they contain compounds that help regulate blood sugar levels.
